I'm trying to add a second card to my NW Buxx account but every time it says unable to process transaction, try later or change funding. But the initial funding source is always the same and I'm not able to change it. Anyway to get around this? I'm not past my $500 load max per day. Tried $20 and same error.

I removed the endless spiel from wiki on having to answer all the security profile questions for US's product. It is not true and no longer relevant.

I get asked the random questions whenever I use a new internet connection. I think its a good idea to answer all and save. Just to play it safe. Hard to disprove.

You probably need to check your card's data setting.
I tried to load NW Buxx 4 times this morning and got the same error message each time. Suddenly I realized that I need to update my card's expiration date & security code. I loaded $500 successfully after I updated those data.

What's the max on that card? If it's high, then the monthly fee might be worth it.
